My Nonprofit Reviews

As a professional currently working with many different charities, and in my former role on staff at NFCR, I can say without hesitation that this is a charity that makes every attempt to fund the best cancer research in the world. Take a look at the institutions the scientists they fund work for -- Yale, MD Anderson, Dana Farber, Georgetown. The impact of NFCR's work is far reaching, truly global -- and that's a good thing.

This year my business partner was diagnosed with breast cancer and without the assistance of NFCR's leadership team and science network, things could have turned out much different. Thankfully, she now has a clean bill of health except for a year's treatment of Herceptin (a drug which NFCR's funding helped create).

The fact that NFCR spends its money on research in the lab (as opposed to running high-profile awareness events, or courting company sponsorships) is what inspires me to support their mission. The fact that they've had the vision to seek out, and align the efforts of, the best scientists from all over the world shows to me that they know what it takes to accelerate the pace of bringing an end to this terrible disease.
